SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,313, dated January1, 1901.

Application filed April 13 1898. Serial No. 677,456. (No model.)

To a. whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON DANOYGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Tag-Clasps; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tag-clasps; and it consists ofan oblong open ring or link with overlapping parallel and pointed ends,one of which is shouldered.

The object of my invention is the construction of a cheap and effectiveclasp adapted to fasten tags to textile merchandise.

The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure l is a front view of the device. 2 is a side view of the same.

Like numerals designate like parts in the two views.

The clasp comprises the part 6, the semicir- Fig.

cular bends '7 and 8, and the overlapping ends 9 and 10, the latterhaving a reverse curve, so that it lies beneath and parallel to theformer, all the parts being in the same plane.

In use the paper tag A is attached and the point is made to enter thefabric, and thus it serves to unite the two parts, the shoulderrendering the detachment somewhat difficult.

Having fully described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

As an improved article of manufacture, the clasp or link formed of asingle piece of wire oblong in form with semicircular bends, one of thefree ends of said wire being parallel with the opposite side, the otherfree end having a reverse curve which forms an obstructing-shoulder andcarries said end beneath and parallel with the former, all parts beingin the same plane, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I mix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.

SIMON DANOYGER.
